From DCRTV.com:

"Obama To Call Simpson's PGC Farewell Tomorrow [Friday, 1/29/10]?

A source tells DCRTV: "Donnie IS off today... Big show planned with star-studded call-ins and live celebs tomorrow. Possibly even Obama!" DCRTV has told you that CBS Radio has been negotiating to buy out the contract of longtime DC radio morning man Donnie Simpson (left), and it looks increasingly likely that tomorrow, Friday, will be his big finale at WPGC (95.5 FM). More soon..."

As many of you know, President Obama called former VA Governor Tim Kaine at DC's news talk station WTOP last month, so calling into radio shows is nothing new for him.

Simpson'd show is an early morning drive show.

Does Simpson get a tingle like Chrissy gets from Zero-0?

Maybe, if we listen in, and he gets his message out, we will come to understand and love Obamacare! That’s the ticket!

Why is Donnie Simpson leaving WPGC? He’s been on the air forever but still young enough by today’s standards.

I found this explanation. Sagging ratings.

He’s a typical morning guy. Nothing remarkable other than he’s been around forever. WPGC has been one of the most popular stations on and off since the 70s, which kind of adds to the mystique.

Oloser should call Andy Parks to discuss the finer points of taxes, immigration and security.
